Demountable Campers

I have no idea what this is...  do you have a link to a website?

Hi there,

I've just seen your post about demountables. Guess what we've got one too! Ours is a Suntrekker made in the 70's but restored  and reborn and now hitching a ride on a nice Mitsubishi L200. We are a very select bunch eh! There are thousands of demountables in the States and Canada but not many over here it seems so I'm in the process of starting a demountable camper website just out of interest to see how many of us demountable owners are around in the UK. Let me know if you see this post and we can have a natter. We do see them very occasionally on Britains' roads and needless to say enthusiastic waves are always in abundance. We are in North Devon in case you're wondering. how about you? hope to hear back from you. all the best fellow snails

Hi there, I wrote a couple of weeks back. I've got the website up and running now. Its free to join and is not for any commercial gain. Just a place for the snails to gather. hope you take a look. The address is www.demountablecamperclub.co.uk

Theres a forum and a few other links at the moment so it's early days but feel free to join. Big trees from little acorns grow etc. Hope to hear from you. PS we are in North Devon

Hi,

We purchased one back in April. Having a great time - loving the freedom. Would like to join the team and swop stories/ info. Will follow up Paulcurlytops address.

Hope to meet up.

Hi, We have a Northstar Demountable and are members of the club. We have had it since 2008, on a Hi -Lux double cab. We wanted a camper with 4x4 capabilities. The big bonus was the truck can have another life when not carrying the camper (AKA Bryan). The combined total cost was less than a good van conversion which was our alternative. It has been to all corners of the UK and most of the Scottish Islands. It raises an interest on every trip. Most wardens tell us they see about one per season.

 It beats having to put a caravan bed up each night or sleeping on the ground  and it provides your own grandstand view from the top of the ladder!

Hi, we've just bought a demountable camper. All we know is that the camper is a Ranger sitting on top of a Nissan Navara. We obviously have a great deal to learn but are looking forward to our first trip v soon!

we have "up sized" from a tent and are thrilled to have our own loo. No more trips across muddy fields at 3 in the morning.

it would be great to contact others with this sort of outfit.

Hello all "Demountable Camper" owners...….

What's not to love about these Campers?

We have had ours for two years now and toured eight different countries. Only in France, Germany and Sweden have we seen other Demountable Campers.....

So how about we try and meet up somewhere in the UK?

My wife and live in the Peak District and we would be up for meeting with like minded camper owners. I'm sure we could swop some helpful tips and steal a few ideas on how to improve our unique campers :-)

Keep smiling Paul and Debbie...….

Possibly not many in The Caravan Club but I've seen lots on Camping and Caravan Club sites. Or is it just the same two moving about  a lot?

I am about to take delivery of a Tischer demountable unit to mount onto my Hi Lux.

Love the concept, cant comment on personal experience yet!!

Very impressed by the equipment level.

Having trouble getting insurance for it.  I understand that it is covered by the truck insurance until you demount it.

Hello (very long screen name) Can I suggest you come out of the Stories section, and post a brand new thread in the “Discussions” section? You are tagged onto a very old story post, that few will see and read. It’s a quite commonly made mistake, so no worries, but I am sure there will be a few interested in your post, and you might just get the help you need.

You might like to change your introductory screen name to something more personal as well😁 👍

Hope to see and talk with you in “Discussions”🤞
